Answer:
3x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two equations.
5x + (-2x) = 3x
(-y) + y = 0
6 + 8 = 14
3x = 14.
Test one would be the worst one
Area of the figure=area of the square - area of the rectangle 1 - area of the rectangle 2.
Area of the square=side x side=12 * 12 =144
Area of the rectangle 1=8 *5=40
Area of the rectangle 2=5 * (12-8)= 5 * 4=20
Area of the figure=144 - 40 -20=84
Answer : 84
